Purple Tops and Purple Buttons

QuiltyCat's color choices unified her sampler blocks. Note the different

shades of green and violet in the cornerstones: scrappy yet tied together.

Many of you put your blocks together with purple sashings and borders, using the symbolic colors of the English suffragettes, who used a variety of names and a variety of purples. Their consistent emphasis on 

violet, green and white communicated their message and their identity as the most radical of the British groups.

Cookie's Creek sashed with a purple print,

the background of her sunflower block in the center.

Beryl used many purple shades in the sashing cornerstone squares.

Karen in Tucson (1 of 3 tops)

She's framed a variety of violets with a bright purple inner border.

Susan at Stitching Witch

Purples pushed almost to grays. She also used grayed vintage photos.

Scroll down to recent posts to see how other quilters used a range of violets.
